Dur- ing recent years this has been largely sold uuder the name of German Coffee Berry at extremely high prices, but we prefer to offer it under its correct name. The berries ripen in about three or four months from the time of planting and produce a crop of twenty to forty bushels to the acre and are as easily grown as other beans. When roasted and ground it closely resembles coffee and tastes quite similar. Some mix half and haif with coffee when using and claim it is superior. Its great value to the farmer lies in the fact that when ground it makes one of the most valuable crops for feeding stock and adds greatly to the milk production. Claimed also to be much su- perior to clover for fertilizing the soil and for pastur- ing, or feeding the green fodder, of which it frequently yields from eight to twelve tons per acre. Plant in drills 2 or 3 feet apart and 1 foot between plants. Per pkt. 5c. M lb. 15c. lb. 40c, 3 lbs. $, postpaid. Pk. $, bu. $ KAFFIR CORN.
